From TF Tuned:

"[b]My U-Turn air fork leaks oil from under the U-Turn adjuster cap. What's this?[/b]
This only occurs when the bike is upside-down or on its side, when the lube from the lowers escapes through the top. During service, we fit a modified O-ring to reduce this significantly."

...and...

"[b]Can the leak from the top of my Motion Control be fixed?[/b]
Yes. During service we replace the Motion Control compression assembly seals with the improved, modified version."

From TF Tuned:

"[b]When I alter the negative air pressure in my air fork, there's oil at the valve. How can I stop this[/b]
The oil is lube from the air chamber which collects at the bottom of the fork during use. To prevent the oil weeping, simply tip the fork upside-down before checking/altering the negative air pressure."

I have noticed this happening with my Revs. I've also noticed how said oil tends to spray over the discs when removing the pump...
